Black Subaru Forester..

Had an autopia member contact me to get some winter prep work done for his cars. Last week I took care of his subaru forester which had clearly seen better days. I was happy w/ the results despite that a few blemishes didnt want to come out easily. And it being a daily driven car that sees car washes, I didnt want to attack it w/ too much compounding in an effort to save some clearcoat.
I did a few areas w/ ssr2.5, otherwise, did a couple passes w/ OP. It was also clayed obviously, and finished w/ fmj.
Some before and afters...

They were cleaned, i just dont dress them. I know it looks pretty when dressed, but I dont want more dirt being attracted to and sticking to any dressing. just my ways...

My experience has been that regularly dressed fenderwells don't allow grime to stick as hard and they are easier to clean. If someone regularly drives down dirt roads though, I wouldn't dress them.

The after shots look really good!
